The former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi, took to his verified Twitter profile on Saturday 6 May 2023, to acknowledge the good works of the late president Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.
In honour of the 13th anniversary of Yar’Adua’s death, who died on the 5th of May 2010, the Labour party presidential candidate described the late president as a leader who believes in true governance.
He added that the late president is an example of excellence while he ruled the country. Obi went further to say that although it’s been years since the demise of the president his good deeds and legacies still live on.
In his words: “President Umaru Yar’Adua was a true democrat, a detribalised leader, who desired to reposition the nation based on unity, peace and progress. He was a leader who believed in true governance, transparency and accountability”.
Late President Umaru Yar’Adua was elected president in 2007. His tenure was fraught with frequent absence due to ill-health. He died in 2010 and the then Vice President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, completed the tenure which ended in 2011.
